There are significant aspects of POE one that should have been updated in the first installment. Notably, inconsistencies such as the use of different voice actors for each character's death screams are noticeable. The Templar's running animation seems outdated, akin to something from Virtua Fighter. We could all produce such a list dozens of entries long.

A troubling trend in POE is the neglect of numerous elements in favor of introducing additions that increasingly exploit Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO).

I'm particularly interested in understanding the extent to which anti-player cash-grabbing tactics will be incorporated into POE 2.

It's disheartening to see consumers not questioning the practices employed or not seeking representation, despite their significant financial investments, often reaching hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

While participation in these games is a choice, it doesn't mean that we should be lenient or forgiving towards overtly exploitative tactics. Just like we wouldn't overlook questionable practices in any other product or service. We shouldn't give a pass to these games simply because they're 'free'. After all, the entrance to Walmart is free as well, but we still demand legitimate respect as consumers from the place.

Why am I the bad guy for asking the same here? Do you guys not want a better more player friendly experience?

Exactly what anti player cash grabbing tactics are you referring to? The only things in game that end up feeling like a necessity are the stash tabs, in particular the currency and map and 1 premium tab for selling. Outside of that, everything is purely cosmetic. No one is going out of their way to force you to buy cosmetics, so if you can't hold yourself back and end up going n buying stuff then surely that's on your own head and it's purely your responsibility. They give you the option to buy stuff, it's down to you whether you take it or not. Nothing exploitative in it at all.

Unfortunately not, thats not the final goal, the final goal is making more profit, like everyone else.

they are right making FOMO things if their research shows its how they gonna profit more, its capitalism.

And i'm not fightning against it, i'm just saying if this type of approach displeases us, the only mechanism we have to combat it is to stop consuming it.

But there's another point, GGG could do the same thing with p2w mechanics/ or a pay wall of content like majority of games on market, but they dont.
At least they make everything cosmetic and that's a huge step ahead, the game is free, expansions free, maybe its not best case scenario but its way better than many others and thats why i'm here and not there.

I can agree that poe dont have that bad pay system. But also i can agree that they use FOMO strats, lootbox. They arent using p2w...at least not directly.(there some MTX that in fact are QoL, something like Stygian Volatile Dead Effect, Void Spark Effect.). What you think about dummy for mtx? For me this one are pretty bad, u pay because skin change system not that good when you have a lot of mtx. Nice feature, but why i feel that this dlc are fix for bad system? Mb free dummy and then pay if you need more?

About stash tabs. More you farm then more you understand about impact of tabs and this is something like ok for free game. At this moment i would say that currency tab MUST HAVE, but map tab is overrated and you can trade without premium tabs.

Some tabs are bad, like:
divination cards (Yes if not for ssf, you need to adjust filter. Do you remember how many GOOD cards that you use for exchange with nps? Answer a lot less than normal tab)

Meta tab (if you really farm a lot of this than you understand, 1 meta tab not enough for organs, would you buy another one or more multipurpose NORMAL tab?)

Similar for blight (its good only for auto sorting and nps feature)

deli, flask, gem, unique tab = joke

WTB this? then think about normal tabs and quad tabs.
